A lightweight matchup and potential slugfest has been added to the UFC’s return to England. UFC officials announced on Tuesday’s new edition of “UFC Tonight” that Melvin Guillard (31-12-2 MMA, 12-8 UFC) and Ross Pearson (15-6 MMA, 7-3 UFC) will meet at an Oct. 26 UFC Fight Night event scheduled for Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. The contest serves as the co-main event of a card that sees Michael Bisping face Mark Munoz in the main event. The main card airs on FOX Sports 2 followig prelims that stream on Facebook. Guillard looks to build on the strength of a “Knockout of the Night” win over Mac Danzig at July’s UFC on FOX 8 event. The much-needed result helped Guillard snap out of a 1-4 slump and once again showed the potential the 30-year-old slugger always packs in his back pocket
